…actually, why not?
Your life without a computer: what does it look like?
More postcards and personal letters. More in-person visits. More long conversations. More hours where “unreachable” is real.
More typewriters, Xerox, fax machines. More quiet evenings and comfortable silences, more of the Old World that disappeared.
No more computers? Time would slow down immediately.

How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
Weekdays
The Daily Unplug
e.g. No social media between 10:30 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. Put in a time-lock for the apps to help you stick to your schedule.
Weekends
Designated Analog Time
At least 6 hours without gadgets or the Internet. Ideally, 1 whole day a week without going online once.

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?
Slow down. Breathe. Enjoy the sunshine. Go swim. See the sights. Connect with that person.
Do that thing you always wanted to do.
If you can’t, what’s holding you back? Figure that out.
Then go and find out which underpaid single mother already did what you always wanted to do, and follow her lead.

• Take that time off you’ve been meaning to take, and do something positive you genuinely enjoy.
